In the car, Gu's mother and father couldn't hold it in any longer. They frowned and thought about Pei Qinghuan's daughter-in-law.
"This child is okay. At least she doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives. She's much better than those ulterior motives of today's little girls."
Before Mr. Gu could say anything, Mrs. Gu spoke first.
Father Gu was just beaming. "Really? It's rare for a little girl to catch your eye. I also think this child is just right for me."
"I was a bit skeptical when I saw how Mr. Gu arranged this marriage... But the child's parents and relatives aren't very good."
Father Gu originally wanted to say that he wanted to give his daughter-in-law a gift, but after hearing what his wife said, he shut up again.
Mother Gu was still frowning. "Let's observe him a little longer. After all, the children raised by such a person might not be much better."
No one knew what was said in the car, and Qing Huan was not in a good situation either. When she returned, Grandpa Gu had passed away due to his old age. Gu Cheng was listening with great interest, holding a glass of wine.
Gu Jinchen wiped the corner of his lips calmly.
Lu Zhicheng was still there with a slight smile on his lips, speaking like a successful man.
"Don't worry, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me. I promise to surprise you. There will be absolutely no problem."
Lu Zhicheng couldn't help but look at Gu Cheng while speaking, "What about you? Where do you work? I can definitely help."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows. "It's not comparable, it's not comparable. Let's not talk about it. Where can I find such a good job?"
Gu Jinchen could hear that Gu Cheng was being sarcastic, and the subtext was where did he find such a weird person.
Lu Zhicheng waved his hand. "The intensity of my work is not something that most people can handle. Besides, this kind of work requires mental effort, which is different from physical effort."
He smiled and raised his glass. "I won't go into details, for fear of revealing too much. You must not spread it."
He acted like he knew everything, and if someone didn't know the truth, they would have been fooled.
Pei's mother actually heard admiration in his seemingly plausible nonsense. She smiled from ear to ear and quickly said a few words about Pei Anan's mistakes.
"Hey An An, if you can't help Zhicheng, don't make things more complicated. Zhicheng is a man who can do great things. How can he argue with you all day long?"
Pei Anan lowered her head, clutched the hem of her skirt and nodded.
Lu Zhicheng next to him smiled and hugged Pei Anan.
"How could such a good person like my wife care about me? I am so lucky to have married such a virtuous and loving wife."
Mother Pei was even happier. In her eyes, Lu Zhicheng had only made a small mistake before, and now he still loved his wife so much, so he must have done nothing wrong.
After the meal, Lu Zhicheng, Gu Cheng and others sat on the sofa, while Pei Anan and Pei Qinghuan cleaned up in the kitchen.
"An An, I still think you should be careful with that girl. Don't be so stupid. You should look at what the man does to you, not what he says."
Pei Qinghuan frowned, feeling that he had to remind his sister all the time.
Mother Pei heard these words as soon as she entered the kitchen, and her face turned dark.
"What do you know? You're secretly saying bad things about your brother-in-law. In my opinion, Zhicheng is a good man that An An can't find even with a lantern."
"Mom, why are you eavesdropping on our sisters' conversation?"
Mother Pei pinched Pei Qinghuan's hand and said, "You silly girl, I'm doing this for your own good. I came here specially to see you. Didn't you listen at the dinner table just now? You married him without even knowing what he did for a living?"
Pei Qinghuan frowned, "What's wrong with him? Okay, Mom, stop talking."
She felt a little uncomfortable talking about Gu Jinchen's work. She felt that whether it was mental or physical work, he should rely on his own income.
"Mom, you shouldn't talk like that. No matter what job you do, you earn money with your hands. There's nothing wrong with that."
Mother Pei's face darkened. "Is there anything wrong? Didn't you see that your husband couldn't even explain his job? It must be a very undignified job. Why didn't you ask clearly before getting married? You kid!"
Pei Qinghuan lowered his head and said vaguely, "I asked clearly, and I think everyone is about the same. There's nothing shameful."
"You're really messing around, saying such unpresentable things. Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. I'm here to tell you to stop doing that kind of work for your husband. Zhicheng happens to have the resources, so let him help introduce someone."
Mother Pei frowned in disdain again. "If he really is working on a construction site, it would be embarrassing if it were to be spread out. I'm doing this for your own good. Go talk to him right away. While Zhicheng is still here, ask him to find a job. Maybe your husband can get a job at a big company too."
"Mom, I told you that all jobs are the same. We can't look down on those who work with their hands outside just because we work in the office. Besides, this is Jinchen's job. He has his own considerations. How can I just let him replace him?"
Pei Qinghuan frowned, "Think about it another way. If he asked me to change jobs now, I wouldn't be happy either."
"You damned child! Just keep being stubborn!"
Mother Pei glared at her, which showed that she looked down upon Gu Jinchen even more. She felt that her son-in-law's work was not worth her attention. She turned to look at Pei Anan who was standing beside her.
"An An, you must hold onto Zhi Cheng's heart."
Pei Anan lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Mom, I feel like I can't grasp Zhicheng's heart."
"Hey kid, what are you saying? You have a child now, and you're his wife in name only. What's there to hold on to? As the saying goes, no matter how fragrant the wild flowers outside are, they're not as good as the flowers at home."
"knew."
Pei Anan thought about it and felt that something was indeed wrong with her recently. Lu Zhicheng said he loved her in front of his parents.
Moreover, he has been praising her and never said a bad word about her, which proves that Zhicheng has her in his heart.
I shouldn't be so petty because that girl has been blaming Zhicheng. That girl also has a boyfriend. It's all just a misunderstanding. Yes, it's a misunderstanding.
Pei Anan thought about it, then raised his head as if he had figured it out.
"Mom, I've figured it out. Don't worry."
Mother Pei nodded. "An An, I knew you could do it. You've never let me down since we were little. Okay, go ahead. I'll take care of this. Don't make Zhicheng unhappy. You should listen to Zhicheng more often. Look how sensible he was at the dinner table today. You should also talk to your husband more."
Pei Anan nodded and walked out of the kitchen, but did not see Lu Zhicheng on the sofa.
Gu Cheng smiled and said to her, "Are you looking for your husband? He went to the balcony."
She just walked to the balcony and wanted to follow Pei Ma's words and talk more with Lu Zhicheng.
"Zhicheng, please accompany me to the pregnancy checkup this afternoon."
She tilted her head back, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Lu Zhicheng was smoking on the balcony, his brows furrowed. "Afternoon? How can I have so much time? I'm already so busy. It's already very good that I can take a morning off today to accompany your parents."
